Statistician Dodges Chance for No
tOrietv,


1t begins to look as if Statistician Dodge,
of the Agricultural Department, would
come out ahead of the Kentuckians after
all. 1t will be remembered that a commit
tee of them went to the Agricultural De-
partment and bulldozed him and the Com
missioner of Agriculture into publishing a
statement that the departments estimates of
the tobacco crop were altogether too high.
Mr.. Dodge didn't want to admit that his es-
Inmates were wrong but he was pressed SO
hard and the facts appeared to be SO much
against him that he finally signed a COM
munication to the public that made the
Louisville tobacco dealers happy.
Since Mr. Dodge published his explana-
ton there have been much needed rains in
the tobacco growing region, and the reports
which have been received concerning the
prospects of the crop within the last few
days at the office of the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue are to the effect that the
yield will surpass the estimates In Mr..
Dodge's original report.
The thing for Mr. Dodge to do now is to
require the committee of Louisville dealers
to announce that he was right. If Mr..
Dodge doesn't insist upon something of the
kind he will not do justice to himself There
is no doubt, if the latest reports are correct
that his original estimates were not far out
of the way. They were made before the
drought came. The Louisville dealers, in
making their estimates, took into considera.

Florida Expositions.

The Sub-Tropical Exposition at Jackson
vile, commencing in January and con-
tinuing several months, will doubtless
attract many thousand visitors, and con-
vince all who attend it that Florida's
resources have but begun to be appreciated
and developed. The State occupies a posi-
ton peculiar to itself The resources upon
which it prides itself, and upon the develop
ment of which it depends for prosperity and
wealth, belong to it almost alone, and are
not, as is the case with those of most other
States, common in some degree to ALL
This fact is recognized in the
title of the Jacksonville exposi-
ton, and its existence is the
strength of Florida's position The people
of many States can, by the display of the
proper energy, develop mines of coal and
iron, build cotton mills, etc, but when they
want to grow tropical fruits and early vege-
tables. or escape entirely the rigors of
winter--well, they have to go to Florida.
These facts the Sub Tropical Exposition
will emphasize, and in the hands of the
energetic and public-spirited men who have
it in charge it ought to prove powerful
force in bringing forward the high degree
Of prosperity which must eventually come.
But this exposition at Jacksonville is not
the only one which will this winter illus
trate Florida's peculiar greatness. During
January the South Florida Exposition will
be held at Sanford, and the large premi-
ums offered will doubtless cause a rivalry
between exhibitors, which will lead to very
fine displays. There is no rivalry, however,
between the expositions, as they have a
"a common object.

so exercised in their minds about the inn
propriety of Mr.. Carlisle being elected

FRENCH POLITICS.

The Fall of the Rouvier Ministry Expected
Efforts to Bring Clemencaau to the Front
Special TO the Indianapolis journal.
LONDON, June 1L-Indications point to the
fall of the new French Ministry when the army
bull comes up for consideration in the Chamber
of Deputies. Strong pressure is already being
brought to bear on President Grevy to summon
NJ Clemenceau to form Ministry in the event
of the defeat of the Cabinet when urgency is
asked for the bill by the committee.
1t is claimed that NJ Grevy sub
ordinated constitutional considerations to his

France is prepared, and of when she stands in

is his alliance by marriage aud
by political association with General Bou-

very important quantity. He is safer
in Office than out. and he stands for the
French army as Clemenceau stands for the
France in its sober aspect. AS for the

There has been sufficient proof of late that Bou-

vanche. will allow himself to be drawn into
it, he will not act rashly prematurely.
All things considered, Boulanger. tempered by
Clemenceau or Clemenceau inspired by Bou-
LANCER, constitutes an excellent combination.
NJ. Grevy may be very obstinate old man,
very bourgeois in his temperament, but he can
not much longer prevent the formation of a
Boulanger Clemenceau Ministry, and there are
signs that he is coming to a recognition of its
necessity.
